Title
Fortification at New York City
Description
Ebenezer Stevens, agent for erecting the fortifications at New York City, requests that Hamilton direct John Lamb (collector of customs for NYC) to make Stevens a further advance on account of the United States for fortifying the harbor of New York. Stevens has vouchers for the whole amount of appropriation made by Congress. Stevens wants to know whether or not the salaries of Chief Engineer Charles Vincent and his assistants are to come out of that appropriation.
